Well, I was reading Tim’s post of him going to Singapore National Eye Center and well, I know it’s a nice posh place for the eye to soothe, just as how the Skin Center is. What I care was, to check on the status of my medical appointment for my upcoming full check up.

That is part and parcel of living as a Singaporean, we have to follow law and do our time and pay our dues. What I know is that..I am waiting for my driving license so that I can get on with my life.

What surprised me is that…..the Status of my Drivers’ License:

eXtract from EDDIES
LICENSE NUMBER : S7*****9I
STATUS OF DRIVING LICENSE : VALID / MEDICAL SUSPENSION
CLASSES OF LICENSE : 2B,2A,2,3,4A
VOCATIONAL DRIVING LICENSE : 2
EXPIRY DATE : Valid for life unless revoked, suspended or disqualified.
COMMENT : REFERRAL TO SNEC, TTSH-CDC . EXP MED RMR.
AUTHORITY : HQMC,SAF.PSY MED BOARD.

What? They suspended my license?They wanted me to attend a full eye checked out and what? because I traveled far and wide that Bangladesh had SARS & JE now?
This is really a pain in the butt. And by the guys at psychiatric unit? They think I am still the chao keng officer / executive as before…or was my driving that bad??

Now I really need one of those lesen terbang ah…. Or am I sentenced to the padded cells again?

NEWS JUST IN: AZRIN VERY ANNOYED AT 4AM CALL FROM THE US.

Yes people..I was woken up this morning…wait scratch that.. 4 in the frigging morning because a shipment to the US which was a CRITICAL DELIVERY had a slight error, no suite number. Come on man, how hard is it to ship something, there is a huge sign for the company and there is always a directory. Just come to show how lazy the driver was.

Just to let to know, FEDEX Drivers (Business Post in UK) are paid by the DROP, about $1.06 each, and every day, have about 400 drops to do before the morning pickup schedule. I know because I was one. So I kind of sympathise with the delivery guy, who maybe an agency worker or so, knowing he is being worked for minimum wage or about $5/hr job (at least I get £8.50/hr). But then… not their fault.

Lady who rang me from Memphis was so shocked that it’s 4am in the morning.Bugger. I should have disabled the tracking alerts from my US Phone Number.

Bugger!Now I can’t go back to sleep… gave me a scare..thought something happened to my mom.

Well blow me down. I was so happy today being Hari Raya Haji (I follow what MEKAH for Hajj) and well, I had a nasty email from YAT about me having both Nuffnang ads.

Hi Azrin,

Upon checking your blogs and account, we have found out that you are serving Nuffnang Ads from both Malaysia and Singapore, meaning you have accounts in both countries. AT LEAST 5 out of 8 blogs registered under your account have ads from both countries. Namely:

http://marlindaradzi.com/
http://azrin.net/
http://melayu.eu/
http://www.azrin.info/
http://www.athira.net/

I’m sorry but we have to tell you that our system do not allow Nuffnang Ads from both countries on the same blog. After all, both countries’ ads are marketed differently, and there will be payment issues on our side. So you can ONLY choose ads either from Malaysia or Singapore. If you want to keep any of the URLs in Malaysia account please delete the URLs in the Singapore account and vice versa.

Have a nice day.

Shiver me timbers, just as I was getting my BREAK FAST and it’s 10am in the morning. I don’t recall that you CANNOT do so, only to state on the TERMS AND CONDITIONS that you CANNOT show the same ad of the Advertiser in the same page from another network. That is it. Discriminatory? I don’t know. I will not go down the Hindraf way, and well, if you had objections, WHY DID YOU NOT STOP ME 6 MONTHS AGO??!! Honestly, I am feeling lucky now, that my lawyers said that they are DISCRIMINATING AND THREATENING.They forget that their Singapore Office is the place for us to sue them,as most of the sugar is there, and it’s SO EASY to knock SG companies down. Take Criminal Corporate Law pathway, because the CID and CCD will flock that company like a pack of Hyenas for this act of misconduct.

Oh just as well,it’s been fun. It’s been great.I have not received my cheques yet and I know I will never be. So, Goodbye Singapore Nuffnangers, I have to leave. As proud I am as a Singaporean, I will let the current spur run thru, and I think I should remove all of the Nuffnang Ads, Malaysia or Singapore as I know I will NOT GET PAID. At least Google Adsense and Adbrite pays me more often and and with greater payout. Just as I thought I could be their featured MALAY BLOGGER instead of the full runs of Chinese Bloggers like 5xMom and others,with a great sense of earnings.Heck, I don’t receive RM950 per check or so in a month from Nuffnang, but I sure draw more than that.I still have my affiliate programs and other ad units, which makes me think, that I should concentrate on my Kedai-dot-TV which pays for your participation and views and visits and reviews. Best of all, it will be in Pounds Sterling instead of US$. More MOOLAH, but I will not enter the Nuffnang Line of Business…too much dirty.

And so,I have to wave goodbye to my fellow comrades in Singapore and Nuffnang. I already took out Advertlets for the problems with my domain, and so…this means more work on my side to decode all what amendments I have done for them.

So, Thanks for nothing. Their boss said nothing but the tycos wanted to show me who is their gangster, the Real Ah-Long Bukit Beruntung….And the painful lesson to learn that you cannot be a Singaporean and living in Malaysia to earn a decent living which is not enough to pay for my Penang Bridge Toll. Heck even a decent cuppa teh tarik and Roti Prata is not enough with them.

Enough Said?

Please Read Tim’s Reply…

Yes, I want a new Dell notebook. Mainly because I had been using Dell like forever, and I know that I am getting good value for my money. And because I found out some Dell Coupon online, now isn’t that just fine?
Yes, I will admit. What attracted me most to the site is the idea of getting bargain dell, notebook or not. If I would not be able to get the notebook, I will try to get my hands on the desktop. With handpicked bargains offered over at the site, who would be able to resist?
And did I mention coupons for those bargains? Just checking if you are with me there heh heh….
Drop by the site and see for yourself.
I know I would go again, for sure

I am not that religious or superstitious, but that topic above really is a bugger for me. You see, there is a saying, “If you are stingy with God, He will be so with you!” and that is a real true thing I must emphasise to others.

Did I say I am not that religious? So to speak, I’m penny wise pound foolish sometimes, but as such, I normally get my just dessert from Him Almighty ….as instant as the cash that comes out of the cash machine. Let me relate to one silly incident. I was at Friday Prayers and during congregation, I was kinda tight up for cash, and I did not put in anything into the box.Well during the week after,it was hard, I had my run of bad luck and things like so. And fantasticly, after I repaid what my normal tithes during the next congregation, I get things back on track, and with better business results.

How’s that?

Zakat or Tithes in the times of the Arabs were fixed to about 2.5% of everything. Even non-muslims pay a TAX to the administration of the same amount, and that is how things originate : The Sales Tax or Income Tax.

So think of it this way, pay 2.5% of whatever you get to the charitable causes. If they are giving a fund raiser, and they are selling something you can’t afford, don’t buy, but contribute a small token like $5 (or the smallest banknote denomination you have with you) cos the ‘taxman’ is already there. Consider that as a bribe to the guy upstairs so you have a good health,business and things do well, and that you remember that He is watching you.

Allah SWT said that a donation or tithe is a cleanser of bad deeds and dirty money which we may not realise and a donation or good deed , how small it is,even to the size of an atom,is just as effective as a huge one, and that a deed is like a seed,growing into 7 branches and each branch carry at least 7 fruits of our labour.

So, that effectively,shows He promised us not just Paradise, but 49 times returns of whatever we invest,however small it is, and that Time is more costly than of monetary.

Now, you know one small secret I have for my Top Monthly Leaderboard for PayPerPost and other programs. Getting oneself blessed. And being charitable does not restrict oneself from just a cause or religion,faith or community, it’s the whole community.

So at times, you donate your time to charity, and that time you invested will give you such pleasure in life, and maybe Insyallah, Longevity.

Take care.

Wei, How about this for your tantilisation?

I was going about some funny videos and ideas to pull in for my Operation Dessert Storm and I stumbled upon that funny video to make me really laugh like no one other.

It’s four years since Iraq was invaded and the Americans are not happy with the cost.Not because of the invasion, but it’s more about the money. Imagine I can bash Bush up like a bush of trash on the street.
Hee hee hee.

While surely Operation Dessert Storm is azrin’s weapon of mass distraction, videos will sure make you distracted.
I’ll might as well change my title now: WMD Specialist : Weapon of Mass Distraction.

I can’t help ROTFLOL!

Darn, another hit and run. Was going to the local shop down at Taman Kemuning to replace my broken muffler *(again for the third time this month) and a silly navy blue Kelisa popped out of the junction, standing and obstructing my lane.

So what else, look behind, OK, Tap Brakes, slow down…..and whoooaa!
It’s bad enough that Majlis Pembandaran Kulim Kedah don’t maintain the estate roads, but cleaning it up proper? They don’t even collect trash properly.
